Thank you Adam, lovely to meet you & hope to see you again one day
I had a wonderful stay with Melanie. Her house is stunning! She is so personable and I really enjoyed chatting. Parking provided as advertised, private bedroom and bathroom. Nothing felt like too much trouble! I was coming in late from work each night and this was all accommodated for without any issues. Thank you so much! Annaliese X

Lovely to meet you Anneliese & Thank you
Wishing you all the best in your career
Melanie made me very welcome. The location was lovely. The bedroom had everything I needed and the bathroom was spacious. I didn't use the kitchen but it looked well organised and, best of all, her cat decided I was worthy enough to be allowed to pet her, the ultimate compliment! Would definitely stay again.

Such a wonderful place to stay in a peaceful and beautiful cottage. So quiet which was perfect for me after a full days filming! A lovely shower and a place to relax! I extended my stay to 3 nights and I will be back very soon indeed!
Melanie my host is a nice lady very welcoming and it was great to sit out in the garden with a little stream running through....
Thank you very much for letting me stay!

Fantastic! Mel was lovely and generous, place was easy to find and had a cracking few nights. Also very accommodating with a busy and chaotic shooting schedule.
Thanks Mel!!

Lovely digs in a lovely quiet location (bit tricky to find on the first night though as Google maps won't take you all the way!)
Melanie's lovely and friendly, with a lovely cat to match! Great bathroom, was shared with another guest but we never clashed for usage. I was hardly in because of long hours, but I'd recommend the digs to anyone! 10/10 would stay again!
